The surround sound on this item is good for gaming such as counter strike for
its surround sound capabilities but the design is flawed. They feel strange
while wearing them then broke at the swivel joints on both sides at the same
time while wearing them. Good sound, Bad construction. Recommend not buying
this item.

"Weak construction"

I'm sorry to report that the construction of this headset is weak. I have
tried 2 sets now and both have broken at the swivel point where the earpiece is
attached. A real pity as I liked the surround sound quite a lot while gaming
and watching DVD's. I hope Saitek take notice and redesign them for
the future

"Good sound but poor construction"

The sound quality on these headphones is more than adequate. I have no
complaints there and consider it superior to any other combinations I have
tried. In terms of comfort it did take me awhile to get used to them.
I normally wear a pair of Philips HP170s for listening to music while working
and those never caused any problems, but with the Saitek set it started to annoy
the top of my head after about an hour's worth of wear. No amount of adjustment
helped for that.

My big complaint is the general flimsiness of the joints. Where the
headphones joins the head strap there is a plastic swivel joint. Picking them up
off my chair and turning them from the flat (They swivel for fitting into the
case, I guess) position into a wearable position snapped it without any form of
force required.
